I know modern MMOs that do just this, though the GMs aren't specifically assigned to look after roleplayers; it's just one of their duties to handle name reports and incidents of griefing. To say they don't is rather disingenuous.
I really don't understand the negative attitude towards RP-labeled servers that so many in this particular community have. I've never seen that elsewhere, and in the MMOs I played that didn't have an officially designated RP server, there was much complaint of wanting one. It's not a bad thing; it is a useful tool to solidify a community.
